Guidelines
Before posting on our BB please remember that BBC guidelines still apply here. You will want to familiarize yourself with them here:
BBC Guidelines
You'll find more in depth info regarding each of these at the link above, but please remember these rules will be enforced;
1. Personal attacks are unacceptable.
2. Hate-speech is not permitted.
3. Do not deliberately disrupt the community.
4. Bullying or harassment will not be tolerated.
5. Illegal activity is not allowed on the site.
6. No XXX. (our interpretation is this refers to photos/links to adult sites)
7. Don’t solicit or reveal personal information or private content – yours or theirs.
8. No soliciting or SPAM.

Group Guidelines

No profanity in thread titles. This is against BBC guidelines so please remember if any profanity is used in a thread title it will be deleted. Now on the topic of profanity, we are a very diverse group of women here and occasionally there is going to be profanity in some of the posts. Please remember, that as long as the profanity is not directly an attack on someone, it will not be removed. If profanity is something you find offensive, it may be best for you to note to refrain from reading that member's posts in the future.

Suggestions
Some of these suggestions were made by our members and some are things that may help your experience here be more positive. Please remember these are only suggestions and NOT rules - as such these are not things that we will be enforcing so please do not report if a member does not follow any of these suggestions.

Title warnings for sad/stressful posts - If you are posting something that is going to invoke stress in some of our nervous moms or sadness, please consider putting a :( in the title or something else indicative of the content.

Support only please - If you're posting something that you know you're not going to be able to handle any comments on the opposite perspective please consider putting 'Support only please' at the top of your post. To others reading a post with that, please be compassionate and follow through on the member's request.

Search function - There is a search box to the right of the list of threads in the middle of the screen that may come in handy in finding an answer to your question before needing to post and ask. Many of the common questions/topics have been covered many times over.

CAPS/lack of paragraphs - Just a suggestion that you will most likely get more responses to your posts if you do not use the CAPS lock or post one huge block of text without paragraphs. Some people find it really hard to read those and will just skip them altogether.

First and foremost we are members of this community. We are here because we want to be around other moms of April 2010 babies. In our roles as GOs we are here to make sure that the guidelines are followed. Please remember that what we can do is delete posts/threads and lock down threads, we cannot delete pictures that a member has posted in their albums. If you find a picture offensive, please contact BBC. We are not here to censor the board in any manner. Please remember to play nice, we would like to enjoy this experience as much as you guys wish to.
